服务怎么样,银行信用怎么样?
服务怎么样,银行信用怎么样?
没用过,这个卡有什么优点么?
没有听说过。
DUC----“
我LG在DUC有checking account很长时间了,他觉得用得挺好。
LG的credit
report不太好,信用卡申请不到,现在想提高他的credit, 只能先申请Secured Credit Card,
就是一开始就有APR,还要先放deposit进去做limit,用过一段时间,如果按时还款,可以转成credit card, 同时credit
score也会提高。
查了几个比较大的银行:BOA, Citi, Discover, HSBC,Chase and AMEX, 只有Citi, BOA有Secured Credit Card, DUC也有。
现在这三个银行基本条款差不多,不同的是:
Citi BOA DCU
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deposit 200-25000 300-1000 500
ANNUAL FEE $29 $29 N/A
Purchase APR 17.74% 18.74% 8.9%
GRACE DAYS 20days 20days 25days
Citi
----说“In 18 months, as your credit score improves, you could become
eligible for an unsecured Citi Platinum Select credit card. Meanwhile,
you'll earn 4% annual interest on your CD.” CD就是那个deposit,
好象一定要定存三年中间取的话就没有4%了, 不知道是变成正式信用卡时开始有4%, 还是可以得到之前的4%?
DUC-----可以有积分“Earn Points With Every Card Purchase – With each purchase you charge on your DCU Secured Visa Classic you earn points with our ScoreCardTM
Program. Use your points to purchase airline and travel services or
quality merchandise. (Note that cash advances and Visa Checks are not
card purchases.)”
“ScoreCard points for every dollar you spend – 2 points
for every $1 in gasoline, grocery store, and restaurant purchases, 1
point for every $2 in all other card purchases.* Redeem your points for
name-brand merchandise, air travel, cruise discounts, and much, much
more.”
但是DUC的Visa Platinum, Gold, and Classic Accounts的利率却是:
不明白的是为什么正式信用卡的APR反而比Secured Credit Card高呢? Citi,BOA的正式信用卡却是0%APR.
前
两天查LG的credit report,发现不好的记录出自一个名叫Applied Card Bank Pka Cross Country
Bank,
上网查,发现有很多他们的信用卡用户受害者,有的人申请了卡,从没有使用却被他们说欠了钱,被追债,信用记录也受损了,很恐怖。

现在感觉如果信用卡公司选择不好的话,是件很可怕的事,Citi,BOA是有名口碑一向比较好,而DUC在美不怎么有名,所以有点担心。
请大家帮忙看看,哪一个比较好,我们主要是用来提高Credit Score的,暂时不会贷款买大件,如果提高分数需要分期付款的记录的话,我们会选择小件短期的,主要目的是提高信用分数。谢谢啦!!!!

CITI,BOA正式的CC给0 APR也是一段时间内的,过了这段时间,就有APR了
那个骗子银行是怎么回事啊,是不是你LG收到人家的卡什么的,然后打了电话过去,无意中开通,签名了什么的啊?如果没记错的话,MM开始说的是欠了CHASE的钱是么?
不是CHASE,一开始说的就是那个骗子银行,有很多人受骗,不过我LG确实是申请了他们的信用卡,也拿过一些钱没还,但他的limit只有$250,结果他们却说他欠了一千多块钱,都是很多年前的事了,我LG也不记得具体拿了多少钱,但他的limit很低呀。曾经看过一个受害人的申述,她说她的limit很低,为什么会欠那么多钱,所以我就有点怀疑他们乱收费。
昨天我帮LG写了一封信给他们,要求他们把明细单给我们寄来,如果他们写信承诺我们pay off后就通知credit report公司把那个记录的charge off改成paid,我们马上就寄支票。咨询过专业人员,charge off 很影响credit score,说是可以通过谈判把那个charge off去掉,我LG想马上pay off, 但我想不试白不试,如果能成,我们可以省很多时间和精力去improve credit score.
我和LG两个人对钱都没什么概念,我在国内也没用过信用卡,国内也没什么credit score,没想到在美这个这么重要,这几天在恶补这方面的知识,LG的三大credit reports已细细看过了,还不是特别糟糕,现在就只有这个骗子银行的这一笔了,接下来就是申请Secured Credit Card, 慢慢把credit score提起来。

我之前也听说过这类的骗子公司,虽然你LG的CL只有$250,但是他们会收所谓的年费,这样下来,欠的钱就像滚雪球一样大了。
看过一个相关的帖子就是说,那个被骗的人也是CL只有$250,但是骗子公司貌似每个月要charge她大概$200多的年费,她每个月的钱净用来付这个了。。。
我看那个上面有一个建议就是可以去小额法庭告他们的,如果欠的钱数不属实哈,这类骗子公司一般就是一个皮包公司,很少会派代表上庭的,所以多数是原告赢。这样的话,可以拿着这个,有利于去信用局dispute。
当然MM先向人家索要单据,看一下你们是不是确实欠了这么多再说下一步也不错哈
